Rachel barely went home, she barely went to school. She only went home after 8pm, she would spend pretty much all the weekend next to the bed Finn lye in. She went to school every second day. School was her last priority at the moment. All she cared about was seeing Finn open his eyes again. She needed to see those big chocolate eyes again. Sometimes when Rachel sat with Finn she just cried, she cried until she couldn't any longer. After Rachel was out of breathe, either from singing to him or crying too hard, she would pray. She prayed most of the time she was next to him. She prayed he would wake up and they would both go to New York together. She prayed they would both graduate, together. She prayed to see him move again. She prayed.


A whole week passed, including graduation. The Glee club visited every couple of days. They had all graduated. They even tried to get Rachel out of that hospital room. Rachel didn't care about graduation any more. She had forgotten she had a life. She forgot about NYADA, graduation, school altogether. And graduating high school was all she could talk about before this all happened.

Rachel's Dads tried to get her into counseling. She needed to get her life back on track. Her Dads had given up on trying to get her to come home. They said the last resort would be counseling. They spoke to her about it every time they visited. The counselor was in the hospital too, so she didn't have to leave the room, the counselor would come to her. After asking Rachel many times, she finally gave in. On the Monday of the second week Finn was in hospital the counselor came for her first visit.

Rachel sat next to the bed clenching Finn's hand, like normal. When someone knocked on the door.

"Hello? Miss Berry?"

A tall blonde lady stood at the door. She had a black pencil skirt and a purple blouse. In her hands was a clipboard.

"Yes, are you the counselor?" Rachel asked, looking up to her.

"Yes, I am. May I?" The lady asked pointing to the chair close to Rachel.

Rachel just nodded and returned her eyes back to Finn. The lady pulled the chair up to the bed next to Rachel.

"I'm Jane." She said smiling at Rachel.

Rachel turned to face her and returned a simple smile, she hadn't given a smile since this happened.

"So this is Finn? Your boyfriend?"

"Yes." Rachel replied smiling at Finn, with tears forming in her eyes. Just talking about him made her tear up.

"Do you want to tell me what happened?" Jane asked.

Rachel breathed heavily. Rachel hadn't spoken of the accident since it happened. This was hard.

"Well-" Rachel's breathing was calm, but wasn't going to be for much longer.

"He was in a – a car accident. A t –truck hit the s –side of his Ute."

All Jane could do was put a hand to Rachel's back. For a counselor she wasn't doing much.

"Tell me what your plans were after school." Jane asked calmly.

"Well, we were both going to go to NYADA together." Rachel smiled, a tear fell down her face.

"And what's NYADA?"

Rachel stared to breathe normal again, a few slight tears rolled down her face but she felt better.

"Well NYADA is a school in New York, a music school. We are both in Glee club, we love to sing."

Rachel and the counselor Jane talked for ages. Rachel told her more about NYADA, and New York. And How Finn couldn't choose what he was going to do. She told her more about Finn and school. They spoke about everything. It didn't feel like a counseling session. It's like they became good friends. When Rachel spoke more of Finn she broke down. She cried for a long time, but this time she had a shoulder to cry on. Jane told her it's good, it's good that she's letting it all out. She cried and cried. Rachel pulled herself off Jane's shoulder and threw herself on Finn. She cried more. Jane just let Rachel cry on top of Finn. This was just the beginning of the counseling sessions. There was much more to come. Rachel felt scared. She thought the counseling would pull her away from Finn. But she also felt safe, she wanted to get on with life. Although saying that made Rachel terrified. It sounded like she was going to leave Finn behind. She would never do that ever. The only way Rachel could get on with life and go to NYADA would be if she saw Finn's eyes again, if she kissed him again, if he moved again, if he spoke again.
